Stellera chamaejasme L. is located on the northern border of the range in Western Transbaikalia. The formation of Stellera steppes was not distinguished within the region previously. We analyzed canaflora Steller communities on the basis of geobotanical descriptions and made phytocoenotic characteristics with regard to ecological conditions of their growth, was carried out. The analysis of the correlation of ecological groups in the coenoflora`s composition showed the prevalence of xeromesophytes species. In general, mesophytic species account for more than 60 %. The coenosis-forming properties of S. chamaejasme are manifested in forb meadow steppes and steppe meadows.
